Looks like Reece Wilson put down a heater with only Thibaut Daprela coming close. Everyone else is 5+ seconds off! Very remarcable is, that YTs Angel Alonso, as 4th to last rider rode to a 10th place right after Daveboy Trummer. And judging by a webcam it was raining all the time. #notbad

sweet ride, but the nuances of yellow really hurt the eye. Could be intended though. The sublte all black parts (chain e.g.) really run well together. I know a red boxxer is boring, but maybe make custom red öhlins lowers?

Depending on where you live, but my favorite used to be dropper posts and now is being approached by the timberbell. We have a ton of other trail users out and I can turn it on for the DH and most people I see are already off the trail having heard me coming long before I see them. I get 'thank yous' from people and in general, has done a ton to reduce my trail conflict in my area as they get more popular. Fight or flight is triggered when people are scared and by no longer scaring anybody on...

Thx for weighing in. I'm not a tin foil hat guy I understand that ebikers want to participate and I get the supply and demand thing. I participated in and organized regional racing that a few EWS Elite Racers cut there teeth in. And I can say it's all grassroots - riders for riders. Then I see someone like Anneke Beerten getting 4th out of 5 in EBike world championships and I can't believe she does it because she passionately races eBikes. And then FIM organizing and broadcasting a race then UCI jumping the bandwagon. So it appears that people...

This has been asked on this other site and it's a very valid question: Is there a natural demand or push for it? And I'd really like to know the opinion of an industry insider.. @eric @stik I've been lying awake puzzling about the same thing last night. I haven't seen or heard of a local ebike race pop up anywhere. But that happens in every sport people are passionate about. But there have been WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS last year in EBike racing, where 5 people finished in the women's class!!!!?????

I don't want to be impolite or rude, but do you really see it as the same when someone chooses the elctrification not by circumstances but by deliberate picking the advantages of elctric-motor-assistence over a regular mtb? To me that is not only about attitude and culture but about benefits. I can ride faster to the trails, i don´t have time for hourlong climbs to get fun descents, i can do multiple laps in the same time, i can go further uphill, i can go steeper, i can ride different uphilltrails, etc. To me that is most logically a different...

Currently the "German Association of Alpinism" short DAV (https://www.alpenverein.de/) issued a position paper on eBikes. The DAV has over 1,3 million members and is basically a association of hikers and climbers and also Mountainbikers, that takes care of Trail maintenance (hiking and climbing trails) and built and runs alpine cottages and shelter-huts in the alps. Their paper states that they plan to restrain access and power supply to eBikes on their infrastructure (huts). Their point being that eBikes bring loads of untrained and possibly unskilled bikeriders to alpine heights that they think those don't belong to. Because of lack of...

I think the insight of the article should be that eMTBs are a different instrument, for a different sport, and considering them as such may already do a lot to alleviate tensions and concerns. No one really gets too upset over the existence of dirt bikes, or road bikes; we accept that these are different instruments, with their own behaviors, territories, rules, etc. The author makes it clear that he personally dislikes eMTBs, but I think rather than provide this negative anecdote, it would have been more useful to show how people are stoked on eMTBs, and show how they...

For an opinion post and one of the more relevant mountainbikesites, and you being a journalist, this article is surprisingly biased. I've been drawn by your headline because I recently had a conversation where my point was just that. E-Mountainbiking is just not the same as traditional biking. Therefore it's a different sport. My point was, that you can't generally share a ride between the two because the physical difference and intend of use of it's owners would be to big. However I've seen and experienced the exception. Sometimes weird - him being soaking wet and out of breathe, while...

Hmm, I used and bought it for a enduro stage race this summer. 29°Celcius in the shadow summer. 1800m of altitude climbing. I was thankful for the half shell option (though they didn't execute the rulebook - lol) While on the stages racing, when hitting the pedals hard there is definitely a "hemmed in feeling" which probably is what the reviewer described. I never felt like I ran out of air though when breathing heavily and translated it to "wearing a no compromise full face lid". It be interesting to have direct comparison to say a tld stage, which offers...

I can confirm the wobbliness when worn as a half shell. It feels like it sits on top of your head rather then around it, weight wise if that makes any sense. In my opinion it's very breathable though. The chinbar is really a pain in the a** to mount and to release it the obs are to small - the criticism here is spot on. I also would prefer a non magnetic chin band - less risk of pinching yourself when used single handed which I do regularly.
